"The fpeech of Cato is that of a fcholar, a philofpher, and a man of virtue: all the fentiments of fuch a fpeech are to be acquired by instruction, by reading, by converfation; Cato talks the language of the porch and academy. Hamlet, on the other hand, fpeaks that of the human heart, ready to enter upon a deep, a dreadful, a decifive act. His is the real language of mankind, of its highest to its lowest order; from the king to the cottager, from the philofopher to the peafant. It is a language which a man may speak without learning; yet no learning can improve, nor philofophy mend it. This cannot be faid of Cato's fpeech. It is dictated from the head rather than the heart; by courage rather than nature. It is the fpeech of predetermined refolution, and not of human infirmity: it is the language of uncertainty, not of perturbation; it is the language of doubting; but of fuch doubts as the fpeaker is prepared to cut afunder, if he cannot refolve them. The words of Cato are not like thofe of Hanilet, the emanations of the foul: they are therefore improper for a foliloquy, where the difcourfe is fuppofed to be held with the heart, that fountain of truth. Cato feems inftructed as to all he doubts: while irrefolute, he appears determined; and befpeaks his quarters, while he queftions whether there is lodging. How different from this is the conduct of Shakespeare on the fame occafion!" On |
